Korean Air has enhanced the partnership that it shares with its subsidiary low-cost carrier Jin Air.
Subject to regulatory approval, the codeshare partnership will extend to six Jin Air-operated routes: Seoul–Nagasaki; Seoul–Okinawa; Seoul–Macau; Seoul–Kota Kinabalu; Seoul–Vientiane and Seoul–Guam.
The partnership also allows members of Korean Air’s frequent flyer programme Skypass to earn and redeem points when travelling on the codeshare flights by Jin Air.
The two carriers are working closely to accommodate the requirement for both full service and low-cost air travel. In some instances, both airlines may operate the same route if there is a demand – something rarely seen due to the fear of a low-cost subsidiary cannibalising business from its full service counterpart.
